Chapter 5 Bieyun View
Three miles, which is more than one thousand meters, not far away. After delivering the carriage to the city gate guard behind the city gate, Wu Mian and Zhao Xiangzhong walked for a few minutes before reaching the Bieyun Temple.
After listening to the Bieyun Temple, Wu Mian thought it was a Taoist temple, but when he arrived in front of the Bieyun Temple, he found that he had completely wronged.
Taoist temple is a place where Taoist priests practice. In his impression, it is a quiet, tidy and solemn place, but the Biaoyun Temple is very different.
The five steps and one floor of the Bieyun Temple are one floor, ten steps and one pavilion, with a large scale. The pavilions are full of tense and majestic soldiers, and the fortifications such as resisting horses in front of the door should be complete. Where can there be a quiet Taoist temple look like, it is a military camp!
Wu Mian thought he had come to the wrong place, but after a few closer inspections, the three words "Bie Yunguan" on the door plaque came into his eyes, clearly telling him that he had not come to the wrong place.
"Young man, what's the matter?"
While Wu Mian was still stunned, a soldier standing in front of the temple asked, his voice loudly, like beating a bell and drum, and his eyes were as sharp as a sword, making Wu Mian seem to be put on his neck by a sword.
"Ah... Xiaosheng... The military master at the city gate asked Xiaosheng to come over to see the Taoist priest." Wu Mian, who was startled, bowed and replied.
Good, it’s so terrible to take a look. According to what Uncle Zhao and others said about the division of martial artists in this world, this person should be a master with a good heart, right? But why did he be a goalkeeper here? Isn’t this master worthwhile?
Wu Mian glanced at Zhao Xiangzhong beside him and found that he also stared at the soldiers who were asking questions with wide eyes. It was obvious that he was also shocked that such a great master was a soldier here.
"So that's it." After the soldier nodded, he didn't care about what Wu Mian and the others were thinking. He just glanced at them a few times, pointed at Zhao Xiangzhong and said, "You, give me the weapons hidden in your waist, and then go in."
"Yes!" Zhao Xiangzhong pulled out a short knife hidden around his waist without any resistance and presented it to the soldiers with both hands.
Although he is a little famous in the world, he can't hold on for a few rounds when facing a master with good intentions. In addition, there are soldiers around him. If he dares to resist, he will probably turn into a pile of meat paste in an instant!
And compared to Wu Mian, he could see more how terrible Bi Yunguan was. Those soldiers with the worst strength may have similar skills to him. He even saw four masters like the questioning soldiers!
What happened to Changshang? Why did so many experts be transferred? Judging from the dress of these people, they should be the Hu Ben Army, who is specialized in guarding the royal relatives. Is there any royal relatives who come to Changshang? It seems that they need to find some old friends to ask about it!
He thought to himself.
After taking the short sword, the soldier turned his head and said, "Xiao Zhou, take them to Qingxin Hall."
"Yes!" Another soldier walked out, agreed loudly, and said to Wu Mian and the others: "Come with me!"
After saying that, he turned around and walked into the Bieyun Temple without waiting for Wu Mian and the others to agree. Wu Mian and Zhao Xiangzhong could only follow him in a hurry.
After entering the Bieyun Temple, Wu Mian felt that this was a military camp rather than a Taoist temple. The soldiers were soldiers in military uniforms, and they all looked serious. When they saw him and Zhao Xiangzhong, they all looked sharply. Although there was no real feeling in the soldiers at the door, it made him feel as if he was a lamb waiting to be slaughtered in the slaughterhouse.
Opening his mouth, Wu Mian coughed lightly. Just as he was about to ask something, Zhao Xiangzhong suddenly pulled his sleeve and shook his head at him when he turned his head.
Wu Mian wanted to ask, so he swallowed it again, nodded obediently, and followed the soldiers silently.
Not long after, the three silent people arrived in front of a room. There was a plaque with the three characters of Qingxintang hanging on the door. The door was wide open, and a young man in Taoist costume sat on an Eight Immortal Chair like a boneless one.
Seeing the three of them, the boy's eyes widened slightly: "Also?"
"Don't talk nonsense, get it done sooner." The soldier who brought Wu Mian and the others over said coldly, then turned to Wu Mian and the others and said, "You go in and check it out for him. If you are fine, you can leave."
"It's okay, it's just a little foul air. If there is a problem, they can't enter the city." The young man rang out after the soldiers' voice fell, and then pointed at Wu Mian and said, "Come on first, see if your Yin Tang is black and covered in foul air. Have you encountered something unclean?"
"I don't know this young master, so I'll ask the Taoist priest to take a look."
The cold Bing Xin Jue in his heart was still entrenched. Combined with the words that the black veil woman said that her existence would freeze his heart, Wu Mian naturally did not, and did not dare to tell the truth. However, since the little Taoist priest could see that he had such mysterious things as foul air on him, he thought he had real skills, so he might as well let him check it out by himself.
The boy seemed not surprised, but just curled his lips and said, "I don't know, sooner or later you will die in a dilemma in the corner."
After saying that, the young man took out a stack of talisman paper from his arms, pulled out one and slapped it on Wu Mian. Then the talisman was burning without fire, and an inexplicable force filled his body.
"Okay, next one."
"That's good?" Wu Mian also hoped that the boy could see if he had other secret tricks from the woman with black veil, but he didn't expect that the boy just slapped a piece of talisman paper on him.
Although Wu Mian felt magical when the fireless spontaneous ignition and inexplicable power, the young man couldn't even see the Ice Heart Art in his body, how could he feel at ease?
The boy waved his hand impatiently: "Everyone said it, if there is any problem, you can't enter the city. Zhi Jinwu has long cut off your head."
After saying that, the young man pushed Wu Mian away directly, pulled out another piece of talisman paper and slapped it on Zhao Xiangzhong.
"Okay, you can leave now. The foul air has been dispelled by the evil talisman. Don't be stuck here and get in the way."
Wu Mian originally wanted to ask him to check it carefully, but seeing his attitude, he couldn't help but feel a little angry and swallowed it directly.
"Thank you, Master, for farewell."
Seeing Wu Mian like this, Zhao Xiangzhong planned to persuade him, but the soldiers who led them spoke: "If there is nothing to do, leave, it's not convenient for outsiders to stay here."
Seeing this, Zhao Xiangzhong had no choice but to give up and silently followed the soldiers back the same way and left the Bieyun Temple.
When he arrived at the city gate and wanted to return the carriage, Zhao Xiangzhong asked, "Second Young Master, do you still have to go to Guanyin Temple?"
If the city guard hadn't said that they would come to Bieyun Temple first, they had planned to go to Guanyin Temple, which is said to be very effective in seeking children, to see if there are any masters.
Wu Mian, who was still a little angry at the young Taoist priest's attitude, heard this question and wanted to say go, but after thinking about it, he shook his head and said, "Forget it, don't go anymore. Go directly to the Changshang Academy admissions center."
Bie Yunguan was right next to the city gate. When the city gate guard found that there was foul air on me, he asked me to come here to solve the problem. I think even if the little Taoist priest is not good at being capable, he is still a capable person, otherwise he would not be placed in this position. Now he said that there is no problem with me, so there should be no other obvious problems on me. And the Bing Xin Jue and the bronze mirror can absorb its power and do not require outsiders to deal with it. Why owe favors to others? As for other secret tricks... I am an ordinary person, I should not have been so troublesome to a monster.
After thinking about this section, Wu Mian felt relieved, and at the same time, he couldn't wait to use the bronze mirror to absorb the coldness that the Bing Xin Jue was entrenched in his heart.
First, this allows him to avoid worrying about being controlled by a woman in black veil, and second, he can also understand the true power of the bronze mirror.
Perhaps after absorbing the power of Bing Xin Jue, what other abilities can the bronze mirror develop?
Wu Mian, who was gradually getting happy, no longer thought about the rudeness of the young Taoist priests, but instead looked forward to the wonderful use of the bronze mirror.
From the gate of Changshang City to the enrollment point of Changshang Academy, you need to walk twenty miles straight and ten miles northward, which is thirty miles in total. If you walk on foot, it will take about one hour. If you are converted to Earth time, it will be two or three hours.
However, because Wu Mian and the others were driving carriages, the main road of Changshang City was very spacious, with ten lanes on the earth and the traffic conditions were good, so it took more than half an hour to arrive at the enrollment site of Changshang Academy.
As the city gatekeeper said, the enrollment points of Changshang Academy were particularly obvious. Two large wooden stakes that could not be held together could not be held by two people. There was a large plaque with a height of people hanging on it. The book contained four characters of Changshang Academy. There was a grand tall building behind it, but the door was closed at this moment.
Around it are inns and restaurants, with cars and horses in front of the door, and most of them are young people. I think they are all students who come to Changshang Academy to study.
This is not surprising. The Song State has no war. If the common people want to make a name for themselves, they can only study. Changshang Academy is a well-known academy in the Song State. There have been many celebrities who have become generals and ministers, just like the world's top universities on earth, which will naturally attract countless students to study.
Although Wu Mian was not interested in studying, and liked things like martial arts and legendary immortal arts that were not in contact with on earth, in this world, it was not easy to practice martial arts by famous teachers, let alone seeking immortals and asking for Taoism. He only heard the legends and did not see real people. Even if he liked it, because his money was controlled by his family and he did not have the ability to go on a journey alone in the world to seeking immortals and ask questions, he could only follow the arrangements of his family to study at Changshang Academy.
However, Wu Mian was not opposed to studying at Changshang Academy.
Chang Shangcheng is the largest city in the Song Dynasty except for the capital. Because it is located in the south of the Song Dynasty, it is collectively known as Bei'an's South Shang Dynasty with the capital of Song Dynasty Lu'an.
Changshang City is extremely prosperous, with three religions and nine genres gathered, and countless famous scholars and masters are numerous. There are also branches in the world. If he wants to practice martial arts, he can find a good sect here to join. Moreover, because the three religions and nine genres gathered, if he wants to find immortals and ask questions, he can also inquire about something here.
Therefore, studying at Changshang Academy was not something he was forced to do, but something he had to do.
This is the way!
